I found a Tarantula in my garage today. Does anyone know if they are common around here?

Yes they are. I moved here from Kansas in 1999 and saw one climbing on the side of my house, and I about had a stroke, lol. If you have lived here long, I am surprised you haven't seen one before. You can see them crossing roads too when they are migrating. I think the AR Game & Fish Website might have info on them, not positive. From what I have been told, they are harmless.

They are harmless and are not poisonous unless you are allergic to it like a person could be to a bee sting. There is also a spider here called a wolf spider that looks very similar to a Tarantula. They are also harmless.

Back in the early 90's I saw a swarm of them cross a parking lot one night at West Hill Apartments. It was a freaky sight. Looked like about 20 or so.

OMG! Glad I came across this forum. I'm terrified of spiders. No I may never visit this town again....
